We feel so lucky to have had our child at Monty's. We could not recommend it highly enough. From day one our little boy was so happy and settled and looked forward to the days he went. The staff are kind, gentle, warm and really caring and they became like family. The food is excellent and helped our
boy a lot with his eating. They do amazing activities and take them out on lovely trips to a range of places. This is a really special nursery and we look forward to our little girl going soon.

Our daughter has attended Montys for the last two years and we couldn't be happier with the care, nurturing and encouragement she received whilst there. The small 'family' setting suited her, and the staff were fantastic - taking time to get to know her and tailoring activities to support her growth
and development. The regular outings to Kew Gardens, wonderful onsite catering and music/sports lessons were particular highlights.

Montys is a loving environment that provides education through play and structured learning. I have two children there (one graduating) and I’m very pleased with the foundation of learning my pre-schooler has gone into Primary school because of Montys.
For the younger ones, you really see how quickly
they grow when they join. The nursery is small enough that there is a nice balance between spending time with their own age and the bigger kids. If you have siblings there it’s a really nice way for them to bond as well.
The staff are loving and have become an extension of our family to our children. The kids love the food and come home calling 'Mrs XX' which makes us laugh. They celebrate all cultures and welcome you to participate.
While fairly pricy, upon reflection with one child prepping for primary school - we feel that our child is very prepared and has received an invaluable foundation for education to come.

Our son went to Montys at a year old through to preschool. He loves it there and we're really happy with it. The preschool teacher is outstanding, he has grown in confidence and ability. It's a small nursery, extremely nurturing and does feel like a second home to him.
Would highly recommend.

Montys is a wonderful nursery and preschool which nurtures children and prepares them for life in school. The staff are amazing and have given my son the attention and care he needs to think, along with some amazing experiences with all the activities they plan. The food is varied and delicious, my
son definitely eats better at Monty's than he does at home. Overall I couldn't recommend it more.

I shifted my son to Montys from a local childminder and it was the best decision ever. He enjoyed his time there and always came out happy and smiling at the end of the day. The food provided by the chef is one of the best I have seen. The team are very caring and friendly and your child is in very
good hands. I strongly recommend it. Today my son is a confident Kindergartener. Thank you Montys!

Both my children have attended Monty’s Nursery and had a wonderful experience. The staff are fantastic - warm, professional and very focussed on achieving the best outcomes for all children. The legendary ‘cheffy’ serves the most delicious, healthy foods - both my children have developed great eating
habits thanks to Monty’s. They also do exciting trips and excursions around the local area - including forest school for the older children. I would happily recommend Monty’s to anyone in Kew looking for a homely, locally-owned provider with strong community links.

Really fantastic nursery with dedicated staff. Our daughter absolutely loved going to Monty’s and she learned and developed a lot during the 2 years she attended.
It is exceptionally well-run with lovely staff to look after the children. We are a same-sex couple and they were very inclusive towards
us and our daughter. I highly recommend!

All staff at Monty's Nursery is very mindful of individual children's needs and areas for improvement (be it behaviour, language etc.)
The setting and great outdoor space makes our son feel at home and he is always happy to arrive at creche in the morning.
If the fees are on the expensive side, the
care is certainly worth it and access to plenty of fresh and healthy food (including tea) is great for our "growing" and gourmet child.

A wonderful nursery! The best. The carers are very committed and nice people.


Only improvement could be that the breakfast should also be made in-house and not the standard pre made cereals, waffles etc.


Reply from Celia Tilli, Nursery Proprietor at Montys Nursery & Pre-School

Thank you very much for taking the time to review our nursery. Your comment regarding the breakfast we serve is appreciated and we will look at ways to bring breakfasts more in line with the healthy and nutritious lunches and teas served in our nursery. Breakfasts are always a compromise between the 'healthy' option and what the children will actually eat, especially when separating from their parents in the morning. Perhaps some fresh fruit smoothies would go down well. Any suggestions will be gratefully received!

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.952)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.952) out of 10 for Montys Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.717 for Montys Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.717

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.235 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Montys Nursery & Pre-School is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 34 number of registered child places is 6.8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.8 = 0.735

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
